COMRADE B. F. STEPHENSON, 



Founder of the G. A. R. 




t£I 



HE "Grand Army of the Republic" is an organization com- 
posed exclusively of those who served in the Union Army or 
Navy during the Rebellion; and is the outgrowth of a natural desire 
on the part of the participants in the conflict of arms, to strengthen 
and perpetuate friendships formed amidst hardships and dangers, and 
through the strong bonds of fraternity, enjoy the social advantages of 
frequent meetings of old comrades, and with them plan for the care 
and comfort of the sick and disabled or destitute of their number; to 
honor the memories of the dead, and to cherish and maintain the 
principles upon which the order is based. Comrade F. B. Stephenson 
was the originator of the first post, which was formed in Decatur, Illinois, 
in the Spring of 1866, and it was through his exertions that posts were 
organized in that and adjoining States. These lacked a central or 
general organization and regulations, until a meeting was held in 
Springfield, Illinois, in July, 1S66, by the representatives of over 
forty posts of that State. Comrade John M. Palmer was there chosen Grand Commander- 
Comrade StephensonVcted as Provisional Commander-in-Chief. When posts had been formed 
in several States, Comrade Stephenson, in pursuance of General Order No. 13, dated Oct. 31, 
'66 convened their representatives for the formation of a national organization. A convention

was held in Indianapolis, on November 20, with representatives present from posts in 
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wis- 
consin and the District of Columbia. 

The meeting was a large one and attracted general attention. Comrade John M. 
Palmer, of Illinois, presided, and the encampment adopted plans for the organization of 
posts, State departments, and a national encampment, substantially as they are in force 
to-day. 

Eligibility to membership was declared in the following terms: Soldiers and Sailors of 
the United States, army, navy or marine corps, who served during the late rebellion, and 
those having been honorably discharged therefrom after such service, shall be eligible to 
membership in the Grand Army of the Republic. No soldier or sailor who has been con- 
victed by court-martial or desertion or any other infamous crime shall be admitted. No per- 
son shall be eligible to membership who has at any time borne arms against the United 
States. 

The objects to be accomplished by the organization were stated to be: 

1. To preserve and strengthen those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound to- 
gether the soldiers, sailors and marines who united to suppress the late rebellion. 

2. To make these feelings efficient in works of kindness and material aid to those who 
fought with us by land or by sea for the preservation of the Union, and who now need our 
assistance for themselves or their families, by making provision where it is not already been 
made. 

For the protection of such as have been disabled either by wounds, sickness, old age, 
or misfortune. 

For the maintenance of the widows of such as have fallen, and the support care and 
education of their children. 

:!. To maintain true allegiance to the United States of America, based upon a para- 
mout respect for and fidelity to the national constitution and laws, to be manifested by the 
discountenancing of whatever may tend to weaken loyalty, incite to insurrection, treason or 
rebellion, or in any manner impair the efficiency and permanency of our free institutions, 
together with a defense of universal liberty, equal rights and justice to all men. 

" No officer jor comrade of the Grand Army of the Republic shall in any manner use 
this organization for partisan purposes, and no discussion of partisan questions shall be per- 
mitted at any of its meetings, nor shall any nomination for political office be made." 

Rules and regulations for the government of the order were adopted, Comrade Stephen 
A. Hurlbut was elected Commander-in-Chief. 

The second national encampment met in the council chambers, Philadelphia, January 
15, 1868; the following departments being represented in addition to those named in the first 
meeting: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New 
Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Michigan, Minnesota, Tennessee and Louisiana. 

At this encampment Comrade John A. Logan was elected Commander-in-Chief. Com- 
rade Logan directed the observance of May 30th as Memorial Day, and the national en- 
campment, on his recommendation, incorporated the same in its organic law, making the ob- 
servance of that day general and binding on the organization. 

Several of the States have made this Memorial Day a legal holiday, and throughout 
the country its public observance attracts general attention and respect. 

Comrade Logan was re-elected at the encampment held in Cincinnati, May 12, 1809, and 
again at Washington, May 11, 1870. 

At the encampment held in Boston, May 10, 1871, Comrade Ambrose E. Burnside was 
elected Commander-in-Chief, and served two years with distinguished ability, doing much to 
place the order on a higher plane than it had before occupied. 

Comrade Burnside having positively declined a third term. Comrade Chas. Devens, Jr., 
of Massachusetts, afterwards Attorney General of United States, was chosen his successor at 
New Haven, Conn., May 11, 1873. He was re-elected at the session at Harrisburg, Pa., 
May 12, 1874. Comrade John F. Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, was elected Commander-in- 
Chief at Chicago, May 12, 1875, and was re-elected at Philadelphia, June 30, 1876. 

At the Providence encampment in June, 1877, Comrade John C. Robinson, of New 
York, was elected Commander-in-Chief. Comrade Robinson was re-elected at the encamp- 
ment at Springfield, Mass., in June, 1878. The twelfth annual session was held in Albany, 
in June, 1879, and was a meeting of considerable interest. Comrade Win, Earnshaw, Chap-

BY COMKADE S. J. SIMMONS. 



Soldiers, comrades, brothers ever, 
We who bore the heat together. 
We who saw our ranks dissever, 

'Neath the foemen's shot and shell ; 
We who on the southern piain stood, 
In the dawn of our young- manhood. 
Loyal though scarce out of boyhood. 

Firm we met the rebel yell. 

Sad those tines for Jersey mothers, 
Husbands, sons and stalwart brothers 
Nobly died while many others 

Filled the graves we marked unknown. 
Bravely grappling with their foemen, 
Dying like the ancient Roman, 
Fell those sons of Jersey yoemen. 

Their last thought of home. 



Pale, yet firm, the Jersey soldier. 
Brave of heart and broad of shoulder, 
Solid as the granite boulder, 

Stood he 'mid the cannon's rattle ; 
Though the dead are thickly lying, 
And his wounded comrades dying, 
Not a thought has he of Hying, 

In the hour of battle. 

Since those days long years have llown, 
Comrades, we have older grown, 
And the silver locks find home 

Over foreheads once so fair. 
Then lets stand by one another. 
Each as comrade, triend and brother, 
Down life's hill we'll go together, 

Ills and joys we'll share. 



But should a comrade go astray. 
Though he wore the blue or gray. 
Let " old Jersey's veterans ".say, 

He is still our brother. 
Thus we'll show the South how true, 
(Though our numbers now are few,) 
Arc the boys who wore the blue, 

Each one to the other.

T 







1 the heroes whose glory 

History loves to name, 

Whose deeds will live in story 

With everlasting fame, 
No braver, truer soldier 

Our starry banner bore 
Than gallant Philip Sheridan, 
Of famous Shenandoah. 



HI LIP HENRY SHERIDAN, born in 
Albany, N. Y., March 6, 1831. He entered the 
United State Military Academy, July 1, 1848, anil gradu- 
ated July 1, 1853. His standing was 34 in a class of 52, in 
which James B. McPheason was the head. General John 
M. Schofield and the Confederate Qeneral, John B. Hood, 
were also his classmates. He was appointed a Brevet 
Second Lieutenant in the 3d Infantry. After service in 
Kentucky, Texas and Oregon, he was commissioned 
Second Lieutenant in the 4th Infantry November, 22, 
1S54. Promoted to First Lieutenant March 1, 1864, and 
Captain in the 13th Infantry May 14, 1861. In December of the same year he was Chief 
Quartermaster and Commisary in Southwestern Missouri. In the Mississippi campaign from 
April to September, 1862, he was Quartermaster at General Halleck's headquarters. During 
the advance on Corinth it became manifest that his true place was in the field. May 20, 1862, 
he received the appointment of Colonel of the 2d Michigan Cavalry. July 1st, sent on a raid 
to Boonsville, Miss. He did excellent service in the pursuit of the enemy from Corinth to 
Baldwin, and in many skirmishes during July and at the battle of Boonville. In reward for

his skill and courage he was made Brig. -General of Volunteers July 1st. October 1st he was 
placed in command of the Eleventh Division of the Army of the Ohio, in which capacity he 
took part in the successful battle of Pet ryville, on < >< tober 8th, between the armies of General 
Buell and General Bragg, at the close of which the latter retreated from Kentucky. In this 
action Sheridan was particularly distinguished. After the enemy had driven back M< Cook's 
corps and were pressing upon the exposed left flank of Gilbert, Sheridan, with General Robert 
B. Mitchell, arrested the tides, and. driving them back through Perryville, re-established the 
broken line. His force, with the army, marched to the relief of Nashville in October and 
November. He was then placed in command of a division in the Army of the Cumberland, 
and took part in the two days' battle of Stone River; or, Murphreesboro December 31, 1883, 
and January •>. 1863. Uuell had been relieved from the command of the army on October 
30th, and Rosecrans promoted in his place. The Confederate army was still under Bragg. 
The left of Rosecrans was strong and his right comparatively weak. So the right was simply 
to hold its ground while the left should cross the river. The project of Bragg, well conceived, 
was to crush the Union right, and he almost succeeded, as division after division was driven 
back, until Cheatham attacked him in front, while Clabourn assayed to turn his (lank ami 
Sheridan was reached. The fate of the day seemed to be in his hands. He resisted vigor- 
ously, then advanced and drove the enemy back, changing front to the South — a daring 
maneuver in battle — held the overwhelming force in check and retired only at the point of 
the bayonet. This brilliant feat of arms enabled Rosecrans to form a new line in harmonv 
with his overpowered right. Sheridan said, laconically, to Rosecrans when they met on the 
field, pointing to the wreck of his division, which had lost 1,630 men : "There are all that 
are left." After two days of indecision and desultary attempts, Bragg abandoned Murphrees- 
boro and fell back to Tullahoma, while Rosecrans waited for a rest at that place. 

Sheridan's military ability had been at once recognized and acknowledged by all, and 
he was appointed a Major-General of Volunteers, to date from December 31, 1862. He was 
engaged in the pursuit of Van Dorn to Columbia and Franklin during March, and captured a 
train and many prisoners at Eaglesville. He was with the advance on Tullahoma from June 
24th to July 4, 1863, taking part in the capture of Winchester, Tenn., June 27th. He was 
with the army in the crossing of the Cumberland Mountains and the Tennessee River, from 
August 15th to September 4th, and in the severe battle of Chickamauga September 19th and 
20th, The Union right, under McCook, was driven from the field and was in imminent 
danger of being cut off, but General George II . Thomas held the centre with an iron grip, 
and General Thomas L. Crittenden commanded the left. Bragg maneuvered to turn the left 
and cut Rosecrans off from Chattanooga. During the battle there was a misconception of 
orders, which left a gap in the centre of the line which the enemy at once entered, the right 
being thus thrown out of the fight. The centre was greatly imperilled. For some time the 
battle seemed irrecoverably lost, but Thomas, since called the " Rock of Chickamauga," held 
firm. Sheridan, alone, rallied many soldiers of the retreating centre and joined Thomas, and 
in spite of the fierce and repeated attack of the enemy, the entire force fell slowly back in 
good order within the defences of Chattanooga, whither Crittenden and Rosecrans had gone. 

Rosecrans was superseded by Thomas, to whom was presented a problem apparently 
incapable of solution. He was ordered to hold the place to the point of starvation, and he 
said he would. The enemy had posession of the approaches by land and water. Men and 
animals were starving, and forage and provisions had to be hauied a distance of seventy-five 
miles. General Grant was then invested with the command of all the armies contained in 
the new military Division of the Mississippi, embracing the departments of the Ohio, the 
Cumberland and the Tennessee. He reached Chattanooga on October 23d, and ordered the 
troops relieved by the capture of Vicksburg to join him, and Sherman came with his corps. 

Sheridan was engaged in all the operations arcund Chattanooga, under the immediate 
command and personal observations of General Grant, and played an important part in the 
battle of Mission Ridge. From the centre of the Union line he led the troops of his division 
from Orchard Knob, and, after* carrying the intrenchments and rifle pits at the foot of the 
mountain, instead of using his discretion to pause there, he moved his division forward to the 
top of the ridge, and drove the enemy across the summit and down the opposite side. In 
this action he first attracted the marked attention of General Grant, who saw that he might 
be one of his most useful lieutenants in the future — a man with whom to try its difficult and 
delicate problems. A horse was shot from under him in this action, but he rushed on in the 
pursuit of Mission Mills, with other portions of the corps of Thomas harrassing the rear of

nooga Valley and Missionary Ridge, was in rapid retreat towards Dalton. After further 
operations connected with occupancy of East Tennessee, Sheridan was transferred by Grant 
to Virginia, where, April 4, 1864, he was placed in command of the cavalry corps of the 
Army of the Patomac, all the cavalty being consolidated to form that command. Here he 
seemed in his element. To the instincts and talents of a General he joined the fearless dash 
of a dragoon. Entering with Grant upon the overland campaign, he took part in the bloody 
battle of the Wilderness on the 5th and 6th of May, 1864. Constantly in the van or on the 
wing, he was engaged in raids threatening the Confederate flanks and rear. His fight at 
Todd's Tavern, on the 7th of May, was an important aid to the movement of the army. His 
capture of Spotsylvania Court House, on the 8th of May, added to his reputation for timely 
dash and daring, but more assonishing was his great raid from the 9th to the 24th of May. 
He cut the Virginia Central and the Richmond and FredericksbuJg Railroads and made his 
appearance in good condition near Chatfield Station on the 25th of May. In this raid, having 
under him kindred spirits in Merritt, Custer, Wilson and Gregg, he first made a descent upon 
Beaver Dam trains and recaptured about 400 men who had been made prisoners. At Yellow 
Tavern, on the 11 ih of May, he encountered the Confederate cavalry, under J. E. B. Stuart, 
who was killed in the engagement. He next moved upon the outer defenses of Richmond, 
rebuilt Meadow's Bridge, went to Bottom Bridge, and reached Haxall's on the 14th of May. 
He returned by Hanovertown and Totopotomoy Creek, having done much damage, created 
fears and misgivings, and won great renown with little loss. He led the advance to Cold 
Harbor, crossing the Pamunky at Hanovertown on the 27th of May, fought the cavalry battle 
of Hawe's Shop on the 28th, and held Cold Harbor until General William F. Smith came up 
with the 6th corps to occupy the place. The bloody battle of Cold Harbor was fought on the 
31st of May and 3d of June. Setting out on the 7th of June, Sheridan made a raid toward 
Charlotteville, where he expected to meet the Union forces under General Hunter. This 
movement, it was thought, would force Lee to detach his cavalry. Unexpectedly, however, 
Hunter made a detour to Lynchburg, and Sheridan, unable to join him, returned to Jourdan's 
point, on the James River. Thence, after again cutting the Virginia Central and Richmond 
and Fredericksburg Railroads and capturing 500 prisoners, he joined for a brief space the 
Army of the Potomac. In quick succession came the cavalry actions of Trevillian Station, 
fought between Wade Hampton and Toibert, on the 11th and 12th of June, and Tunstall 
Station, on the 21st of June, 1864, in which the movements were points to cover the railroad 
crossings of the Chickahoming and the James River. There was also a cavalry affair of a 
similar nature at St. Mary's Church on the 24th of June. The vigor, judgment and dash of 
Sheridan had now marked him in the eyes of Grant as fit for a far more important station. 
Early in August, 18(54, he was placed in command of the Army of the Shenandoah, formed in 
part from the army ot Hunter, who retired from the command, and from that time to the end 
of the war Sheridan seems to have never encountered a rrilitary problem too difficult for his 
solution. His new army consisted at first of the 6th corps, two divisions of the 8th, and two 
cavalry divisions, commanded by Generals Torbert and Wilson, which he took with him from 
the Army of the Potomac. Four days later (the 7th of August), the scope of his command 
was constituted the middle military division. He had an arduous and difficult task before him 
to clear the enemy out of the Valley of Virginia, break up his magazines and relieve Wash 
ington from chronic terror. Sheridan grasped the situation at once. He posted his forces in 
front of Berryville, while the enemy, under Earley, occupied the west bank of Opequan

Creek, and covered Winchester in his division. Besides the 6th corps, under Wright, and the 
8th, under Crook, Sheridan had received the addition of the 19th, commanded by Emmory. 
Torbert was placed in command of all the cavalry. Having great confidence in Sheridan, 
Grant yet acted with a proper caution before giving him the final order to advance. He went 
from City Point to Harper's Ferry to meet Sheridan, and told him he must not move till 
Lee had withdrawn a portion of the Confederate force in the Valley. As soon as that was 
done he gave Sheiidan the laconicdirection : "Go in." He says in his report : "He was oft 
promptly on time, and I may add that I have never since deemed it necessary to visit General 
Sheridan before giving him orders." On the morning of the 10th of September Sheridan 
attacked Earley at the Crossing of the Opequan, fought him all day, drove him through 
Winchester and sent him whirling up the Valley, having captured 5,000 prisoners and 5 guns. 
The enemy did not stop to reorganize until they reached Fiser's Hill, thirty miles south of 
Winchester. Here Sheridan again came up and dislodged him, driving him through Harri- 
sonburg and Staunton, and in scattered portions through the passes of the Blue Ridge. For 
these successes he was made a Brig. -General in the regular army on the 10th of September- 
Returning leisurely to Strasburg, he posted his army for a brief repose behind Cedar Creek, 
while Torbert was dispatched on a raid to Staunton with orders to devastate the country, so 
that, should the enemy return, he could find no subsistance, and this was effectually done. 
To clear the way for an advance, the enemy now sent a new cavalry General, Thomos L. 
Rosser, down the Valley, but he was soon driven back in confnsion. Farley's army being 
re-enforced by a portion of Longstreet's command, again moved forward with celerity and 
secrecy. Fording the north fork of the Shenandoah on the 18th of October, approached 
rapidly and unobserved, under favor of fog and darkness, to within 600 yards of Sheridan's 
left flank, 'which was formed by Crook's corps. When, on the early morning of the 19th, they 
leaped upon the surprised Union forces, there was an immediate retreat and the appearance 
of an appalling disaster, the 8th corps was rolled up, the exposed centre in turn gave away, 
and soon the whole army was in retreat. Sheridan had been absent in Washington, and at 
this juncture had just returned to Winchester, twenty miles from the field. Hearing the 
sound of battle, he rode rapidly and arrived on the field at 10 o'clock. As he rode up he 
shouted to the retreating foops : " Face the other way, boys ; we are going back." Many 
of the Confederates had left their ranks to plunder, and the attack was made upon their 
disorganized battalions, and was successful. A portion of their army, ignorant of the swiftly 
coming danger, was intact, and had determined to give a finishing blow to the disorganized 
Union forces. This was met and hurled back in two columns with cavalry supports. The 
enemy's left was sOon routed, the rest followed, never to return, and the Valley was thus 
finally rendered impossible for occupancy by Confederate troops. They did not stop until 
they^ had reached Staunton, and pursuit was made as far as Mount Jackson. They had lost in 
the campaign 16,952 killed or wounded and 13,000 prisoners. Under orders from Grant, 
Sheridan devastated the Valley. He has been censured for this, as if it were wanton destruc- 
tion and cruelty. He destroyed the barns and the crops, mills, factories, farming utensils, etc., 
etc., and drove off all the cattle, sheep and horses, but, as in similar cases in European history, 
although there must have been much suffering and some uncalled for rigor, this was necessary 
to destroy the resources of the enemy in the Valley, by means of which they could continually 
menace Washington and Pennsylvania. 

The terms of the President's order making Sheridan a Major-General in the regular 
army were : " For personal gallantry, military skill and just confidence in the courage and 
patriotism of his troops, displayed by Philip H. Sheridan on the 19th day of October, at 
Cedar Run, where, under the blessing of Providence, his routed army was reorganized, a 
great nation's disaster averted, and a brilliant victory achieved over the rebels for the third 
time in pitched battle within thirty days, Philip H. Sheridan is appointed Major-General in 
the Regular Army of the United Stales, to rank as such from the 8th day of November, 1864." 
The immediate tribute of Grant was equally strong, in a general order that each of the 
armies under his command should fire a salute of 100 guns in honor of these victories. He 
says of the last battle, " That it stamps Sheridan what I have always thought him, one of the 
ablest of generals." On the 9th of February, 1805, Sheridan received the thanks of Congress 
for the gallantry, military skill and courage displayed in the brilliant series of victories 
achieved by his army in the Valley of the Shenandoah, especially at Cedar Run. During 
the remainder of the war Sheridan fought under the direct command of Grant, and always 
with unabated vigor and consummate skill. In the days between February 27th and March

24th, 1865, he conducted, with 10,001) cavalry, a colossal raid from Winchester to Petersburg, 
destroying the James River and Kanawha Canal, and cutting the Gordonsville and Lynchburg, 
the Virginia Central and the Richmond and Fredericksburg R. R. during this movement. 
On March 1st he secured the bridge of the middle fork of the Shenandoah, and on the 2d he 
again routed Eadey at Waynesboro, pursuing him towards Charlottsville. He joined the 
Army of the Potomac and shared in all its battles. From Grant's General Orders, to Meade, 
Orde and Sheridan, on March 24th, 1865, we learn that a portion of the army was to be moved 
along its left to turn the enemy out of Petersburg ; that the rest of the army was to be ready 
to repel and take advantage of attacks in front, while General Sheridan, with his Cavalry, 
should go out to destroy the South Side and Danville Railroads, and take measures to inter- 
cept the enemy should he evacuate the defences of Richmond. On the morning of the 29th 
of March the movement began. Two corps of the Army of the Potomac were moved towards 
Dinwiddie Court House, which was, in a measure, the key of the position to be cleared by 
Sheridan's troops.. The Court House lies in the fork of the South Side and Weldon Railroad, 
which met in Petersburg. A severe action took place at Dinwiddie, after which Sheridan 
advanced to Five Forks on the 81st of March. He was strongly opposed by the bulk of Lee's 
columns, but, dismounting his cavalry and deploying, he checked the enemy's progress, retiring 
slowly upon Dinwiddie. Of this movement General Grant says : " Here he displayed great 
generalship, instead of retreating with his whole command, to tell tbe story of superior forces 
■encountered, he deployed his cavalry on foot. He dispatched to me what had taken place, 
and tha' he was dropping back slowly on Dinwiddie." There, reinforced and assuming 
additional command of the 5th corps, 12,000 strong, he returned on April 1st with it and 9,000 
•cavalry to Five Forks and ordered General Merit to make a point of turning the enemy's 
•right, while the 5th corps struck their left flank. The Confederates were driven from their 
strong line and routed, fleeing westward, leaving 6,000 prisoners in his hands. Sheridan 
■immediately pursued. Five Forks was one of the most brilliant and decesive of the engage- 
ments of the war, and compelled Lee's evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond. Sheridan 
was engaged at Sailors Creek on the 6th of April, where he captured sixteen guns, and pur- 
suing £he Army of Northern Virginia, and aiding largely to compel the final surrender. He 
was present at the surrender of Appomattox Court House on the 9th of April. He made a 
raid to South Boston, North Carolina, on the River Dan, on the 24th of April, returning to 
Petersburg on the 'dd of May, 1865. 

After the war Sheridan was in charge of the Military Division of the Gulf from the 
17th of July to the 15th of August, 1866, which was then created the Department of the Gulf. 
and remained there until the 11th of March, 1867. From the 12th of September to the 6th 
of March he was in command of the Department of Missouri, his headquarters at Fort 
Leavenworth. Kansas. Thence he conducted a winter campaign against the Indians, after 
which he took charge of the Military Division of the Mississippi, with headquarters at Chicago. 
When Ulysis S. Grant became President, on the 4th of March. 1869, General Wm. T. Sher- 
man, who was General-in-Chief, and Sheridan was promoted to Lieut-General, with the 
understanding that both of these titles should cease with the men holding them. In 1870 
Sheridan visited Europe to witness the conduct of the Franco- Prussian war. He was with the 
German Staff during the battle of Gravelott, and presented some judicious criticisms of that 
campaign. He commanded the Western and Southwestern Military Divisions in 1878. On 
the retirement of General Sherman in 1883, the Lieut. -General became General-in-Chief. In 
recognition of his claims, a bill was passed by the unanimous consent of both Houses of Con- 
gress, and was promptly signed by President Cleveland, restoring for hirr, and during his

SHERIDAN'S RIDE 



in i . ■ 



Up from the South at break of day. 
Bringing from Winchester fresh dismay. 
The affrighted air with a shudder bore, 
Like a herald in haste, to the chieftain's dour, 
The terrible grumble, and rumble, and roar. 
Telling the battle was on once more, 
And Sheridan twenty miles away. 

And wider still those billows of war 

Thundered along the horizon's bar ; 

And louder yet into Winchester rolled 

The roar of that red sea uncontrolled. 

Making the blood of the listener cold. 

As he thought of the stake in that fiery fray. 

And Sheridan twenty miles away. 

But there is a road from Winchester town, 

A good broad highway leading down ; 

And there, through the flush of the morning light, 

A steed as black as the steeds of night 

Was seen to pass, as with eagle flight. 

As if he knew the terrible need ; 

He stretched away with his utmost speed ; 

Hills rose and fell ; but his heart was gay, 

With Sheridan fifteen miles away. 

Still sprung from those swift hoofs, thundering 

South. 
The dust, like smoke from the cannon's mouth ; 
Or the trail of a comet, sweeping faster and faster, 
Foreboding to traitors the doom of disaster. 
The heart of the steed and the heart of the master 
Were beating like prisoners assaulting their walls, 
Impatient to be where the battle-field calls ; 
Every nerve of the charger was strained t< full 

play, 
With Sheridan only ten miles away. 



Under his spurning feet thi 

Like an arrowy Alpine river flowed, 

And the landscape sped away behind 

Like an ocean flying before the wind. 

And the steed, like a bark fed with furnace ire. 

Swept on, with his wild eye full of lire 

But lo ! he is nearmg his heart's desire ; 

He is snuffling the smoke ol the roaring i r . . \ 

With Sheridan only live miles away. 

The tirst that the General saw were the groups 
Of stragglers, and then the retreating troops. 
What was done? what to do- a glance told him 

both. 
Then striking his spurs, with a terrible oath, 
He dashed down the line, 'mid a storm of hu//.is 
And the wave of retreat checked its course there. 

because 
The sight of the master compelled it to pause. 
With foam and with dust the black charger was 

gray : 
By the flash of his eye. and the red nostril's play 
He seemed to the whole great army to Bay, 
" I have brought you Sheridan all the w.n 
From Winchester, down to save the day ' 

Hurrah ! hurrah for Sheridan ! 
Hurrah ! hurrah for horse anil man ! 
And when their statues are placed on high, 
l'nder the dome of the Union sky. 
The American soldiers' Temple of Fame . 
There with the glorious General's name. 
Be it said, in letters both bold and bright.

" Flag of the Seas ! on ocean wave 
Thy stars shall glitter o'er the brave." 

" Flag of the brave ! thy|folds shall fly. 
The sign of hope and triumph high." 

| 1UR flag was woven on the loom of the Revolution by the indomitable valor, the un- 
■ ^~^ wavering determination and invincible faith of hearts that knew no fear and would endure 
no wrong. It was consecrated to liberty and equal rights, to the security of the citizen and 
the sovereignty of the people. Under its sheltering folds and in defence of the principles 
for which it stands, our heroic and immortal dead rallied, and fought, and tell, and were 
promoted. For its honor and supremacy we have toiled, and suffered, and prayed. Beneath 
its radiant folds no miscreant fraud, no treachery with assassin heart.no sullen and vindictive 
treason ought to live. 

Its shelter should protect only industry, good faith, self-sacrificing patriotism, that an 
honorable past may not fail of its just deserts; that the present may be strengthened in 
devotion to acknowledged duty ; that the future may realize what a loyal faith may encourage 
us to expect. All hail our starry flag ! See how its stars glow with celestial Light ; see how 
its crimson throbs, as if it still felt the pulse of the brave hearts that have defended it ; see 
how its white symbolizes an unstained loyalty ; see how its blue still mirrors the heavens, in 
whose purity its stars first learned how to shine. 

See how the eagle on its staff, with half-spread pinions and vigilant eyes, watches 
against any rattlesnake that may lurk in the grass, or any buzzard that may anywhere have 
fattened on carrion. Comrades, let our flag be dear to us ; let it be set high above us; 
let nothing be dearer ; let nothing be higher, save only the austere and sublime symbol 
of our faith — the cross of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

THE GIRAND AROIY BADGE 



They pinned upon a veteran's breast 

A star from cannon cast. 
H is eyes lit up as though the badge 

Recalled the vanished past. 
Old comrades gathered 'round and talked 

About a bloody war, 
And all who heard their stories knew 

The meaning of the star. 

It means that treason raised its head 

A few short years ago ; 
It means that Sumpter's starry flag 

Went down before the foe ; 
It means that to the rescue sprang 

Fresh youth and hoary sire ; 
It means the charge of Donaldson 

And Shiloh's rain of fire. 

It meens Antietam's bloody bridge. 

Where hundreds fought and fell ; 
It means the dash at Mission Ridge 

And Round Top's lurid hell ; 
It means the heights of Fredericksburg 

And Lookout's lofty ciest, 
Old Chickamauga's crimson tide, 

And Pea Ridge in the West. 

It means a week of fighting, with 

Virginia's burning sun; 
It means the dash through Winchester. 

With Early on the run; 
It means a crimson New Year's Day, 

Amid storm-riven snow; 
It means a swoop with " Little Phil,'' 

A charge with " Fighting Joe." 



It means the death-struck Wilderness 

And Nashville's glorious day; 
It means a ride with Farragut 

Thro' fire in Mobile Bay; 
It means the long heroic march 

With Sherman to the sea; 
It means a dash with Averill 

Around the flanks of Lee. 

It means some noble work with Grant, 

When glory led the van; 
It means that he who wears it is 

A true and loyal man; 
It means that lonely midnight watch 

In miasmatic pen; 
It means a night of horror in 

The ghastly prison pen. 

It means long nights of anguish on 

The wounded's churlish cot: 
It means the gloomy hospital, 

With fever raging hot; 
It tells a tale of suffering, which 

The fair cannot believe; 
It means, oh, my! a missing leg, 

It means an empty sleeve. 

It means that comrades, good and true, 

Fell at the wearer's side; 
It means that fathers, brothers, sons, 

Around him brayeiy died; 
It means that when they homeward turned 

From their last battle flame 
In all this land, from sea to sea. 

No human wore a chain. 



No wonder that his eyes lit up 

When some one spoke of war; 
No wonder that he smiled upon 

His ribbon and his star. 
I know he hardly saw it through 

A mist of blinding tears. 
No wonder! for a prouder badge 

No living hero wears.

cross swords cavalry, and the anchor for Sailors. Over the central group are the w 
•"Grand Army of the Republic," and under, the word and figures, " 1861- Veto

the twenty-four recognized Corps Badges, numerically arranged, eat h on a keystone and all 
linked together showing that they are united and will guard and protect the shield of the 
nation. Around the centre is a circle of stars, representing the states of the Union and the de- 
partments constituting the Grand Army of the Republic. The clasp i; composed ol the figure

Remember. 

Remember that a gladsome smile 

Is like a sunbeam pay; 
It has the power to cheer the hour 

And chase the clouds away. 



GraiKl Ara*y of tl>c Republic, 

DEPflRTtTlENT OF l*EUU JERSEY. 

Wa ACH of the States of our Union have their own separate Departments, with power to 
" ~^<5, make laws for the government of the various Posts organized in their respective 
jurisdiction. All are alike subject to the National Encampment. Comrade Edward Jardine, 
one of the representatives present at the Pittsburg Convention, September 24, 1866, from 
New Jersey, was there initiated as a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. He 
served as an aid-de-camp on the staff of the Commander-in chief, and also Provisional Com- 
mander. He called a meeting to organize a Department for New Jersey, which was held in 
Newark on December 10, 1867. At this meeting he was elected the First Department Com- 
mander, and was re-elected at the Trenton encampment, April 9, 1868, serving with dis- 
tinguished ability, doing much to advance the organization, and later, on removing to New 
York, became the Commander of that Department. At the Encampment held in Newark, 
January 24, 1869, Comrade William Ward was elected Department Commander, and re- 
elected at the Encampment held in Camden, January 18, 1870. At the Encampment held in 
Elizabeth, January 25, 1871, Comrade Richard H. Lee was elected Department Commander, 
and re-elected at the Encampment held in Paterson, January 29, 1N72. At the Sixth Encamp- 
ment, held in Trenton January 88*, 1*73, Comrade John R. Goble was elected Department 
Commander. At the Seventh Encampment, held in Newark January 21, 1*74, Comrade 
Charles Burrows was elected Department Commander, and re-elected at the Encampment 
held in New Brunswick, January 28, 1875. At the Ninth Encampment, held in Trenton 
January 27, 1876, Comrade Edward W. Davis was elected Department Commander. At the 
Tenth Annual Encampment, held in Elizabeth, January 81, 1877, Comrade John Mueller was 
elected Department Commander, and re-elected at the Encampment held in Passaic, January 
30, 1878. The Twelfth Encampment, held in Orange January 23, 1879, elected Comrade

ment Commander, who has been untiring in his offorts to advance the honorand promote the 
welfare of our order, and for the surprising results which have followed his unselfish lab< r, 
the comrades of the Department of New Jersey will ever feel grateful. The Twenty-second 
Encampment, held in Trenton February 11, 1889, elected Comrade William W. D. Miller, 
who is at present in command of this Department. 

New Jersey was the first State in the Union to establish a home for her soldiers and saih rs 
The Hon. Marcus L. Ward, of this city, was untiring in his labors in their behalf, and through 
his efforts the Legislature enacted a resolution approved March 28, 1865, for its establish" 
ment. The home was opened on July 4, 1S66. The usefulness of the institution is shown 
by the fact that over 14,724 veterans have been housed, fed, clothed and cared for. The 
cost of maintenance has been $82,592.79 yearly. This department, in 1886, petitioned the 
Legislature for an appropriation to erect new buildings to replace those that by long use had 
become unfit for their purpose. The Legislature promptly appropriated $li0,000, and then 
increased the amount to $125,000. A beautiful site on the eastern shore of the Passaic 
River was selected, in Kearney township (named after General Phil. Kearney), and near his 
home, in Hudson county. The grounds cover seventeen acres. The old mansion on the 
place was remodeled and six new building erected, all especially designed for that use by 
Comrade Paul G. Boticher, architect. The Hon. Marcus L. Ward has been treasurer of the 
home for eighteen years, and since his death this position has been filled by his son, Marcus 
L. Ward, Jr. Comrade Peter F. Rodgers is the present superintendent, and has discharged 
the duties of his position satisfactorily during the'past nine years. The chaplain, Rev. Isaac 
Tuttle, a comrade of Post No. 1, has served continually since the opening of the home. 

New Jersey has made liberal provisions for her soldiers and sailors in addition to the 
State Home. A relief is frequently extended to indigent veterans at their homes by a pay- 
ment of from two to six dollars per month, according to the circumstances in each case, and 
in this way nearly $200,000 have been disbursed. Provision has also been made for the burial 
of any honorably discharged doldier or sailor who may die without leaving means for funeral 
expenses. Such interment is not to be made in any cemetery or plot use«l exclusively for the 
interment of the pauper dead. The cost for interment is not to exceed $85, and an additional 
sum of $15 is allowed for a headstone. 

A fine bronze statue of General Philip Kearney stands in Military Park, and was 
erected through the efforts of comrades of Kearney Post, No. 1. The comrades of Phil. 
Sheridan Post are considering ways and means of erecting a suitable monument to the mem- 
ory of Phil. Sheridan in one of the parks.

Sketch of ptjil. S^eridai) Post 

U\ I in. Pos I An J I I \vi. 

"t3hIL. SHERIDAN POST, No. IK), G. A. R., Department of New Jersey, was 

organized December 6, 188H, with ',' I chartei members; its present membership is 
140. The following comrades are its officers : Post Commander, Henry I.. Halleck ; Senior 
Vice, William Nichols, Jr. ; Vice. George W. Dunn; Adjutant. Howaid Thomas; Ouarter- 
master, Andrew M. Grey ; Officer of the Day, Robert Johnson ; Officer of Guard. John W. 
Keller ; Post Surgeon, Henry D. Cozzens ; Chaplain, O. R. Olds. The regular meetings are 
held every Thursday evening in their rooms, corner of Ferry and McVVhorter streets. The 
object of the association is to render all the assistance in its power towards relieving worthy 
members and assisting the orphans and widows of its deparied comrades, as far as its means 
will permit. Soldiers and sailors who have been honorably dis< harged from tin- service of 
the United States, who have not as yet attached themselves to any other Post of the G. A. K.. 
are cordially invited to unite with the Post in advancing the great principles of the organiza- 
tion. Fraternity to our comrades, charity towards our fellow-creatures, and loyalty to our 
country. The Grand Army of the Republic is one of the noblest associations in existence, 
and aside from its benevolent and humane characteristics, one that cannot fail to lift mankind 
up to a higher standard of moral excellence. The order is grand and noble. Its precepts 
are sublime, and its symbols are replete with instructions both elevating and salutary. Yes. 
comrades, fall in, and though day by day the great enemy may be picking off, one by one. of 
those who first enlisted, let those of us in the ranks be encouraged by the new recruits that 
come forward to take their places. 

" Fall in, fall in, old comrades," 

And right our battles o'er. 
Until above the last low bier. 

1 he wings (if freedom soar : 
Stand hand to hand and heart to heart. 

In Kame's eternal care, 
Until the great reunion 

Unites us over there. 

To our patrons enquiry is sometimes made, " Why these entertainments?" To all 
such we reply that the Grand Army of the Republic has distributed nearly >:\?,0<>u.l) n in 
charity. This amount has been divided among (5(5, S76 destitute soldiers and sailors and their 
widows and orphans. Of this amount the Department of New Jersey has contributed over 
$25,000. Thus it will be seen that the main objects of the organization are to comfort the 
afflicted, relieve the distressed and assist those who are needy, thereby sending a ray of sun- 
shine into the life of those whose paths are overshadowed in gloom. The officers and mem- 
bers of Phil. Sheridan Post, No. 110, desire to avail themselves of the present opportunity 
and gratefully return thanks to all their public-spirited fellow-citizens who have contributed 
in any manner towards the success of this, their first entertainment. 

The attention of our friends and the readers of this programme is respectfully called 
to the business advertisements to be found on its various pages. Without the assistance so 
generously given by these enterprising business men the book could not have been pub- 
lished.

UJ4DEF* THE STATUE. 



BY S. J, 



/^OMRADE SIMONS, who lives in Massachusetts, visited this city two years ago on a 
^ ^-^ business tour, stopping at the Park House. One evening he leisurely strolled 
through Military Park and beholding the monument erected to the memory of New Jersey's 
''hero," Gen. Phil Kearny, he wrote the following poem, which appears in print for the first 
time. The cut has been generously furnished by J. Watts Kearny. 



A stranger in the city, 

Far from friends and home, 
I chanced one pleasant evening 

Into your park to roam ; 
I watched the youth and maiden 

As they passed with love and pride. 
Then I thought of distant dear ones, 

And bowed my head and sighed. 

At last by intuition, 

Or by some unseen hand, 
My attention was arrested 

By a figure calm and grand. 
My vision gently lifted. 

And lo, to my surprise, 
I saw my old commander, 

And the mist it tilled my eyes. 



Ves, there stood QOble Kearny. 

The jewel in the crown 
Of all those great commanders 

Who put rebellion down, 
I gazed on those stern features. 

And my old heart gave a thrill. 
As back by Kearny's side I stood 

< in Malvern's bloody hill. 

And then I thought of Fair Oaks, 

Vnd Sunday at Seven Pines, 
When Kearny, with his (rallant 

Broke through the rebel lines; 
When, had he been supported, 

i As the rebels since have said) 
Fewer the years oi bloody war, 

And less of Union dead. 



Once more 1 stood with Kearny 

On Malvern's fiery height 
Where another got the credit. 

But where Kearny won the fight 
And then before my vision, 

Chantelly s wood appears, 
But I could not see the statue. 

My eyes were filled with tears.

This portrait on celluloid is a masterpiece, Mr. Huntington, the 
President of the National Academy of Design, is enthusiastic in its praise, 
He says: ' The celluloid print represents the engraving remarkably well, 
retaining the extraordinary refinement and power of the original work." 
Mr. M. B. Brady, the well-known historical photographer oi Washington, 
says: "This celluloid engraving in spirit, air, drawing and tone, is ad- 
mirable; better than anything I have ever seen." 

The work is a Steel-Line Engraving printed on Celluloid, winch is 
far superior to printing on India Paper, fully bringing out the engrav< 
work. We have the exclt sive control for printing this remarkable en- 
graving on celluloid, or any other material, being sole owners of the copy- 
right. A very beautiful effect can be produced by hanging it as a window- 
transparency. Size of Engraving 1.2x16 inches.

Enthusiastic Opinions of Intimate Friends of 
General Grant. 



Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln: "It is an excel- 
lent likeness and a fine work of art." 

Hon. John Sherman, Senator from Ohio: "It is certainly very ex- 
cellent, both as a portrait and as a work of art." 

Geo. W. Childs, Esq., of Philadelphia: "It is the best and strongest 
portrait of General Grant I have ever seen. 

Senator John A. Logan: "Beautiful, unquestionably a fine likeness, 
and as a work of art exceedingly good." 

Major-General O. O. Howard: "As a work of art I think the portrait 
superb. To me, he looks in this picture as he looked when President." 

Major-General H. W. Si.ocum: "I regard Marshall's new portrait as 
excellent in every respect." 

Whitelaw Reio, Esq., Ed. N. Y. Tribune: "It is certainly a faithful 
and satisfactory likeness." 

Ex-Pres. Rutherford B. Hayes: " Marshall's new Portrait is cer- 
tainly very fine." 

Lieut-Gen'l W. T. Sherman: "The certificate of Col. Fred. Grant is 
all that is needed for Marshall's New Steel Portrait of General Grant." 

D. Huntington, Esq., Pres National Academy of Design: " It is rich, 
strong, and broad in effect, and preserves the essential traits with vigor." 

George William Curtis, Esq.: "It is by far the best likeness of him 
as he appears in these latter days that I have seen, and it is very fortunate 
that so admirable a portrait has been obtained." 

Hon. Roscoe Conk.leng: "It is to me really a very satisfactory and 
life-like portrait." 

Senator Geo. F. Edmunds: "This new portait I admire. I wish it to 
hang up in my house." 



New York, August 20, 1885. 
Messrs. Currier & Jones, 

Gentlemen: — I have always considered Marshall's portraits above re- 
proach, but in printing his steel engraving of General Grant, by your new 
process, upon celluloid, you have brought out the strength and richness 
of his work far better than it has ever been done before. Having acted as 
private stenographer to the General, I can testify, that besides being a 
work of art, it is an admirable likeness. Respectfully, 

FRED. J. HALL. 

On Sunday,'April 5, 1885, when he thought he could not live through 
the day, General Grant signed five copies of this new portrait, which Mr. 
Marshall had brought at the request of the family. These signed portraits 
General Grant then presented, one copy each, to General Bedeau, Ex- 
Senator Chaffee, Rev, Dr. Newman, and his physicians, Drs. Douglass and 
Shrady. CURRIER L S; JONES.

Sir: — I would be pleased to find out where I could gel the best Por- 
traits and good Engravings of your Father, Generai U. S. Grant, P 
hand this to one of the Engraving Companies in New York, they can 
answer me, and oblige a soldier. 

Yours respectfully,

Brooklyn, September 5, 1885. 

Messrs. Currier & Jones, Newark, X. J.: 

Thank you for the portrait of General Grant (on celluloid) received 
to-day. It is a oeautiful work of art and a good likeness; Mr. Marshall 
has never been more successful than in this instance, I should say. Gen- 
eral Grant's face is 'mpressed on my memory, having seen it for the first 
time just after the fall of Vickshurg when he came among ns in Tennes- 
see as a conqueror, and, naturally, was a person of much interest. I will 
value the picture and again thank you for it. 

LAURA C. IIOI.I.OWAY. 



The Art Critic of the Brooklyn Eagle WRl 1 1 is A.S 1 01 1 ows: 

A new portrait of General Grant has been published by Currier A 
Jones, of Newark, that commands more than ordinary attention". It is a 
fine engraving by William E. Marshall, representing the General in civil- 
ian dress, facing almost full to the front. It is a capital likeness, and those 
who saw him in the last years of his Presidency will accede to that f. 
The expression is quiet, but the eyes'are alive, alert and though'rful, giving 
the face the aspect'of strength in repose, and the. head and bust are 
Ciurately modeled. ,The tone is low,, but .sharply- broken by the lii-h light-. 
thereby giving power as well as richness to the work. Around the oval 
that is occupied by the portrait is the simulation 'of a mat. or tram.-, filled, 
with an Arabesque pattern remarkable in its detail. The notable feature 
of the engraving; however, is that it is printed 0.1; celluloid, with the ■: 
results. It has almost the appearance of Japanese paper, but gives to the 
lines a clearness and, to the high lights, a silvery brightness that paper 
could not impart. It will be no surprising result of this publication if 
celluloid should be quite generally used, in place bi Japan and India 
papers, for proof etchings and engravings. Its vindication as a medium 
is ample in the case of Mr. Marshall's portrait.

Y(ii) ii> Battle. 



By Comrade Wm. Nichols. 



tsiJUMOROUS things were always occurring on the battle-field. At Malvern Hill ■ Con- 
V^> federate colonel ran ahead of his regiment, and, discovering his men were not fol- 
owing him, uttered a fierce oath and exclaimed: 

"Come on! Do you want to live forever?" (Laughter.) 

The appeal was irresistible, and many a poor fellow who had laughed at the colonel s 
queer exhortation, laid down his life soon after. 

One of our brave men, Jim Stillman, was badly wounded in the Chaniilly fight which 
killed Phil. Kearney. The next day we took Jim, who was a good Christian, to the Washing- 
ton Hospital, where he eventually died. After his death our chaplain, who knew Jim was a 
devout Christian, went over to the hospital to hear about his last hours. 

" So Stillman is dead!" he said to the good-natured English nurse. " I should so have 
liked to have spoken to him once more to soothe his dying moments. Did he die happily?" 

"O, yes, said the .unregenerate nurse, "I soothed his last moments as best I could 
myself." 

"What did you say to him?" asked the chaplain. 

"O, I talked very soothing to him." 

" 'Jim,' sez I, ' you're mortal bad.' ' I am,' sez'e. 

'Jim,' sez I, ' I don't think you'll get better. ' No,' sez'e. 

'Jim,' sez I, 'you're going fast.' 'Yes,' sez'e. 

'Jim, says I, ' I don't think soldiers can 'ope to go to 'eav< -n?' 'Do y<>u think so,' sez'e. 

' Perhaps, Jim, sez I, 'you may go to 'ell.' 

' Perhaps so,' sez'e. 

'Jim,' sez I, 'you ought to be very grateful as there's a place pervided for you, and 
that you've got somewhere to go to, and I think 'e 'eard me, sir, and then 'e smiled and died.' " 

"This," continued Comrade Nichols, "reminds me of the experience of Chaplain 
Twitchell of the Fifth Connecticut. Chaplain Twitchell is now Mark T wain's clergyman, 
and, they say, does a good deal of the humorist's thinking. " There was in my regiment," 
says Twitchell, "a splendid soldier by the name of Corporal Jones. The corporal fought 
himself down to a skeleton and finally went to the hospital. On recovering from his danger- 
ous sickness I felt it my duty to have a serious pastoral talk with him, and while he i onva- 
lesced I watched for an opportunity for it. As I sat ..tie day on the side of his bed in the

It ib a collection of incidents intended to teach no moral in particular, stirred together by Charles H. 
Hoyt, incited, aidi etted by Willie Edouin. The piece is called a comedy, because comedy is the 

word used to describe almost everything put upon the stage at pre-cnt, and the authors desire to avoid the 
charge of eccentricity, having enough else to answer for. The people who risk their lives, limbs and reputa- 
tion in presenting the piece and the characters they are alleged to assume, may be learned by a careful study

hospital tent chatting with him, he asked me what the spring campaign was going to be. I 
told him that I didn't know." 

" Well," said he, " I suppose that General McClellan knows all about it." " General 
McClellan," I said, " has his plans, of course, but he doesn't know. Things may not turn out 
as he expects." 

" But," said the corporal, " President Lincoln knows, doesn't he?" 

" No," I said, "he doesn't know either. He has his ideas, but he can't see ahead any 
more than General McClellan can." 

"Dear me," said the corporal, "it would be a great comfort if there was somebody 
that did know about these things," and I saw my chance. 

"True, corporal," I observed, " that's a very natural feeling; and the blessed fact is 
there is One who does know everything, both past and future, about you and me, and about 
this army; who knows when we are going to move, and where to, and what's going to hap- 
pen; knows the whole thing." 

"Oh," says the corporal," "you mean old Scott!" (Laughter.) 



"Jokes.- 

By Comrade Cozzeks. 

THE Teuton is often a long time in learning American idioms. One who had been here 
■*" for a year or more, and who could speak some English before his arrival, a very short 
and corpulent man, by the way, went to his grocer's and paid a bill which had been standing 
for several weeks. 

" Now you are all square, Hans." 

"I vas vat?" 

" You are square, I said." 

*' 1 vas square." 

" Yes, you are all square now." 

Hans was silent for a moment, then with reddening face and flashing eyes he brought

A Battle Field Scene 

Selected b\ Comrade Leary. 



AFTER the battle, in an enclosed lot near York street, Gettysburg, was found a corpse 
,^g in Federal blue, near a small stream of water. Tightly grasped in the dead soldier's 
hand was the likeness of three sweet, innocent little children. On them his last gaze had 1 
fastened, as, alone and unattended, on the dreary field of slaughter, his soul had departed t<> 
its God. He was buried at the time in a lot of Judge Russell's, near where he had been 
found. 

Thousands of copies of the picture were widely circulated, and at length one reached 
Cattaraugus county, N. Y., and was there recognized as a likeness of the three children of a 
man named Hummiston. He had left his humble home to enlist in the 154th N. Y., belong- 
ing to Coster's brigade of the 11th Corps. He had been killed while Coster was trying to 
save the line of retreat. 

The remains of Orderly Sergeant Hummiston now rest in grave No. 14, section B., of 
the New York lot in the National Cemetery. A prize of fifty dollars was offered for the best 
poem on this touching incident. The award was made to J. G. Clark for the following thrill- 
ing stanzas: (Tune, ''Tattoo," or "A Watcher, Pale and Tearful.") 



Upon the field of Gettysburg, 

The summer sun was high, 
When freedom met her Southern foe 

Beneath a Northern sky; 
Among the heroes of the North, 

Who swelled her grand array— 
Who rushed, like mountain eagles forth. 

From happy homes away, 

There stood a man of humble fame. 

A sire of children, three, 
And gazed, within a little frame, 

Their pictured forms to see; 
And blame him not if, in the strife, 

He breathed a soldier's prayer— 
"O! Father, guard the soldier's wife. 

And tor his children care."' 

Upon the field of Gettysburg 

When morning shone again, 
The crimson cloud of battle burst 

In streams of fiery rain; 
Our legions quelled the awful flood 

Of shot, and steel, and shell, 
While banners, marked with ball and blood. 

Around them rose and fell; 



And none more nobly won the name 

Of Chumpn'ii of the Free, 
Than he who pressed the little fr.inn 

Thai held his children three; 
And mme were braver in the strife 

Than he who breathed the prayer: 
" O! Father, guard the soldier's wife, 

And for his children care." 

I'pon the field of Gettysburg 

1 he full mam slowly r 
She looked, and saw ten thousand brows 

All pale in death's repose; 
And down beside a silver stream. 

From other forms away, 
Calm as a warrior in a dream, 

Our fallen comrade lay. 

His limbs were cold, his flightless eves 

Were fixed upon the three 
Sweet stars that rose in memory's skies. 

To light him o'er death's sea. 
Then honored be the soldier's life, 

And hallowed be his prayer: 
" O! Father, guard the soldier's wife. 

And for his orphans care."

HEADOUARTERS ON THE BATTLBPIBLD 



WoiiKiif's Relief G° r P s . 



1 HE first organization of the Woman's Relief Corps was formed in Portland. Maine, in 1869, 
This society of women is actively engaged in the good work voluntarily assumed 2l» 
years ago, and deserves the highest praise for the honorable stand it has chosen amongst the 
numerous similar associations since formed, and which have so generously aided the Grand 
Army of the Republic in the relief of unfortunate and needy comrades and their families. 
The National Encampment of the G. A. R. gave them official recognition in 1881; a resolu- 
tion approving the work of the Woman's Relief Corps was unanimously adopted. Comrade 
Lovering was authorized to correspond with these societies and encourage them in their good 
work. A national organization was formed at Denver on July 25th, 1883; Mrs. E. Florence 
Barker was chosen President and Mrs. Kate B. Sherwood Secretary. The objects of the as- 
sociation are to specially aid and assist the Grand Army of the Republic and to perpetuate 
the memory of their heroic dead, to assist such union soldiers and sailors as need our help 
and protection, and to extend needful aid to their widows and orphans, to find homes and em- 
ployment and assure them of sympathy and friends, to cherish and emulate the deeds of our 
army nurses, and of all loyal women who rendered loving service to their country in her hour 
of peril, to inculcate lessons of patriotism and love of country among our children and in the 
communities in which we live, to maintain true allegiance to the United States of America, 
to discountenance whatever tends to weaken loyalty, and to encourage the spread of universal 
liberty and equal rights to all men. The society has at present a membership of Bixty-four 
thousand ladies and have expended for relief over % 170,000. This is certainly a magnificent 
showing of the executive ability of the ladies of the relief corps in organization. The moneys 
expended for relief were either contributed directly to the relief funds of posts, or were personally 
disbursed by individual members or committees of the Woman's Relief Corps on visits to fami- 
lies of soldiers and sailors. Large as is the amount thus expended for relief, it does not fully 
show the worth of this auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, the cheering visits to 
the homes of the afflicted, the consoling hours spent by the bedside of sick and dying veterans 
by the ladies of this association, cannot be adequately measured by any money standard, nor 
can a full appreciation of their loving work on behalf of suffering humanity be properly ex- 
pressed in words. 



| HE small boy who had been watching through the stove-pipe hole the antics of a loving 
couple, ran down to the kitchen in high glee to describe the whole proceeding to his 
little sister. 

" Oh, it's such fun," said he, in conclusion. 
" What is such fun?" asked his mother, who had just entered. 

"Why, to play lunatic asylum like Sister Hertie and Mr. Snipes are doing in the 
parlor."

'LUHAT DID THE PRIVATES DO?" 



Kv Comrade S. M. 



What did the privates do? Their work 

Lies far beyond our kin ; 
For history does not record 

The deeds of private men. 
We read about Thermopyl* 

And its one hero brave ; 
And tho' he had three hundred men. 

Each one is in his grave. 

His name, also ; but one survives— 

The great Leonidas. 
He carries all the honors off 

For guarding that long pass. 
His men are known as they would be 

Were they three hundred steeds. 
Their names are lost in his. Perhaps 

'Tis all a private needs. 

Napoleon and Wellington 

Fought Waterloo, they say ; 
But who can tell a private's name 

Who perished there that day? 
They are not marked on history's page 

Nor yet in epics sung ; 
Their leaders all the glory get 

Of noble deeds they've done. 



( )ne private, only one. is known, 

( )i all that ancient throng ; 

. no doubt, i 

Embalmed his name in song — 

B( a Battles was a soldier bold." 

Alas, he lost his legs ! 
And then the bard makes tun, be 

He walked on wooden ; 

Such is the cold world's uratitude 

To thi se who tight her .. 
she bows her head to epaulettes. 

But maimed men she abhors. 
I heard a general talking, once, 

1 1 shuddered when he spake,) 
A call was made for volunteers 
dangerous place to take. 

light he saw promotii n there ; 
h are the rules ot war. 
He said, he lost most all his men. 

But. then, he won his star. 
What ' was he braver than those nun - 

\ , ni ■'. a whit more brave ! 
But what won they r They bullet- iron, 
Wounds. ..r a nameless grave. 



What did the privates do. 

Ah. they were gaih'ing 
And helping some grea: offici r 

To shoulder-straps and stars. 
I'll whisper it, but don't you tell. 

Privates are the backbone. 
For what would Appomatox be 

Had Grant stood there alone?

KV A COMRADE OF PHIL. SHKRIhAN POST. 

/\ BORN SOLDIER. No need of military or training school. It came natural, a gift born 
V®: in him. Surrounded by all the comforts and luxuries that wealth could afford, he was one 
of the first to respond to his country's call. He enlisted in theSd New Jersey Regiment aa Se< - 
ond Lieutenant. I remember what a fine and gallant looking officer he made ; soon promoted 
to the rank of First Lieutenant, and then appointed to a position on General Taylor's staff. 
The brigade, after passing through many severe engagements and being greatly reduced in 
numbers, our regiment (the 23d N. J.) was sent to join the brigade, and. arriving at the front, 
Grubb rode out to meet us, and seeing so many familiar faces and such a large regiment, he 
remarked, " O, how I would like to be Colonel of that regiment.'' It was but a short time 
before he was in command, and he was no prouder than we. 

Well do I remember our first engagement, the battle of Fredericksburg. My feelings 
I never could describe, but we all felt as long as he was in sight ami command, we would 
come out all right, and it was due to him that after our right had been so cut up, that it was 
rallied and led into the thickest of the fight. At Chanccllorsville he was always at the head 
of his regiment until his horse was shot, and then on foot leading his men. and the last to 
retire from the field. His kindness to his men was remarkable, always on the lookout for 
their comfort, and not too proud to enter their tents and see how they fared. At regimental 
or dress parade or inspection, we felt so proud, for there was no other officer who could com. 
pare with him, either in mount, riding or dress; the gayest and bravest of them all. When 
our term of service had expired he took us home to Beverlv, and before we were must- 
out he volunteered and went to Harrisburg to help repel General Lee who threatened to 
invade Pennsylvania. His services, however, were not required, and returning to Beverly, 
the regiment was disbanded. He did not stop here, but recruited and sent to the front the 
34th and afterwards raised the 37th, and reporting to General Butler, did good service at the 
siege of Petersburg. It was there I had the pleasure of meeting him again, our regiment, 
1st N. J. cavalry, (for I had re-enlisted), was marching by his camp at midnight, being very 
tired I rode to his tent, walked in, and was used like a general ; had a good dose of commis- 
sary, lunch and a good cigar, with a cordial invitation to call again whenever I was mar. and 
I only a private. In March, lsiio, he was made ••Brevet Brigadier General of the Volun- 
teers," a title well earned. 

His interest in military affairs did not cease her.-. He commanded the «>th Regiment 
National Guard of New Jersey, was Captain of City troops of Philadelphia, and was ele< ted 
Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, Department of New |ersey, in which he 
always took great interest. 

Phil. Sheridan Post, No. 110, was the last post he mustered in, and he terms it his 
baby, and a fine, large, healthy baby it has grown to be. Like a fond parent, be unn 
enough for it ; he has presented it with a large and valuable silk American Bag besides other 
valuable gifts, and the baby is glad it was born.

Bv COMR U'l BaKI i . 

I N 1866 cholera broke out in Burlington, N. |. The physicians and I it) authoi 

in their power to check th.- dread disease and quirt the fears oi ihl One 

evening in September the Overseer of the Pool i ame into th> t loui* il I bambei and reported 
that an old, lone shoemaker had died oi the cholera in a lonely house in th< suburbs, and 
that he, the overseer had made the necessary arrangemenU to Uiry him; bad a grave dug in 
Potters' Field and everything ready, but he could not get any one to put the bod; in the 
coffin and bury it. The President, General Edward Burd Grubb, said: ".The man must 1-e 
buried; if I can get any one to help me I will do it. Meet me at midnight and show me 
where the body is. In the meantime, have a grave prepared in St. Mary's churchyard at my 
expense. I will not bury any one in Potters' Field." So, at midnight, General Grubb, with 
an old army friend (Bartlett, of Post No. 1(5), repaired to the lonely hous,-. wrapped the 
corpse in blankets and put it in the wagon. General Grubb drove down to St. Mary*schurch- 
yard. After the body had been lowered into the grave General Grubb, remembering that 
he had been commissioned as a lay reader by the Bishop of New Jersey, for the purpose of 
administering the last rites of the church to any unfortunate soldier that might need 1 
vices during the war, went across the street to an old parishioner, borrowed a prayer-book 
and a candle, returned to the grave, and there, in the silent night, with uncovered head and 
reverential voice, he read the Episcopal service for the burial of the dead. And the poor, 
old, lone shoemaker, deserted by friends and neighbors, was laid to rest in < on- 
ground. And over the grave one may still read on a stone placed there by General I 
"David Foster, died September, 1H66." 

" And yet the world is full of nun 

And women, too, who claim to !»■

To rummage through my havcrsa, k. 

A weary march, a hopeless light, 
A sad retreat at dead of night. 
And then we all at dawn i 
Lay down like cattle by the way ; 
The pangs of hunger and of thirst 
Were rending us .ike things accursed ; 
A comrade shouted at my ba< k. 
" Come, open up your haversack." 

Each spread his treasure at his feel, 

In lieu of something there to eat : 

A story-book, a testament, 

A housewife by his mother sent. 

And one a picture fair to see, 

A baby on its mother's knee. 

And so sweet scenes of home came back, 

Around the empty haversack.

The Riel) Irish BrogUe. 

By Comr \i>i Di nn. 

ALL dialects are amusing— the Irish, Scotch, Quaker. Yankee and Chit H ' lan- 

«) guage has its brogue. A good instance of Irish brogue and blunder is ins, 
in Mrs. Kelly's cross-examination in the O'Toolihan suit for damages. 

"You claim, Mrs. Kelly," said the Judge, "thai Mrs. OTooliban thai 

bruised and blackened face?" 

" She did, yer Honor— indade she did, or I'm not born." 

" And what you want is damages, Mrs. Kelly ?" 

'•It is damages, yez, says yer Honor? Damages ! No. bad luck tei the O'ToolOwn, 1 
have dam— ages enough. I wants sat-is-fac-shun. begOTTJ "' I Laughter. ) 

Another case : John Quinn jerked his finger out of a box of turtles and held it up in 

great pain. 

"What are you doing there, John?" I asked. 

" I wor investigating." 

" Investigating what?" 

"I wor trying to see which was the head and which was the tail ->v thai 

there in the corner ov the box." 

"What do you want to know that lor?" 

" I've a curiosity to know whether I've been bit or stung." | Laughter, | 

Here is another : 

" Patrick," said a physician, -don't you know letter than to have your p.g-pen so 

close to the house ?" 

" An' phy shuld oi not. sor ? It's unhealthy.' 19 It, ye scz. 1 h awa, w,d yer nonsense-

Such were the orders issued by the Adjutant of the 44th Infantry at White II. -use Lot,

Retreat sounded, roll was called and the writer forthwith repotted .it Headquarters 

and received instructions as follows, viz : 

"Information has been received that an attack on the Treasury is contemplated by 

Mosby's men now organizing in Virginia, and that sympathisers are meeting nightly through- 
out the city." 

" You will at once proceed to disguise yourself in <iti/en's clothing, and then \

your observation. Be cautious, as much may depend upon your judgment and promptne 

In carrying out the order, the veteran of four years and three month a the 

field, was transformed to something very much like a dummy used h ood-band 

clothing store, and in this role visited the island, searching high and low, walking to an 
until the bell tolled off six o'clock a. m., finding no enemy; all quiet along the line. Return- 
ing to camp, I learned that special men were patrolling the grounds of the White House and 
War Department, guards were stationed at Cook's Hank, at Secretary Staunton's house 
Record building, and in the basement of the War Department, as well as on all th- 
the building. Each man carried forty rounds of amunition and had strict orders to ball every 
person within the limits of their post and to fire on all persons so refusing. 

There was continual hurrying to and fro of officers in the War Department building, 
stopping only to exchange a few whispered instructions. The excitement reminded Oi 
an evening before an engagement. This excitement and duties continuing for tw< 
longer. 

Each day's awakening thought being that five hundred armed men would dash at mid" 
night into the city, attack the Treasury and banking institutions, capture the moneys and 
effect their escape before we could offer resistance. An easy matter, too, as tin- heads of the 
nation were so involved that no available troops for immediate concentration could have 
been moved by an order from either the President, Secretary of War or the General of the 
Army, without a complication of authority, which, tor the lime being, would have caused 
riot and bloodshed within our own lines. To this day I feel like thanking M i not 

capturing the boodle, and no doubt his many appointments to :n a 

measure, compensation for the big scare his name gave the Goverment.

THE HERO OF GETTYSBURG. 



Soiks of Veterans |J. S. A. 



I N the year 1881 Major A. P. Davis, oi Pittsburg, Pa., i onceived the idea thai Uric- - 

be an organization composed of the sons of those brave nun who won- 1 be blue in d< 
of their country and flag during those days from 1861 to 1865 which tried men's souls. Id 
Davis brought together a number of young men whose fathers served ili.ir i i untrv during the 
Civil War and formed a camp known as Davis Camp. No. I, S. of V. , U. S. A. 

From that time we have continued to grow until now we have camps in evi 
and Territory in the Union. According to the last repor' from the Commander-in-Chief 
held at Paterson, N. J., September 10th, 11th, 12th, 18th and 14th, l* s '.». we bav< 1,770 
camps, with a membership of 53,461 in good standing. 

So, you see, we are growing, ami will continue to do so, as we are able to recruit from 
day to day, like the order of the Cincinnatta ; we perpetuate by admitting our SOI 
as they become of age, so that Memorial Day and the memories of our fathers will i 
fade, but be kept green by us by placing on their mounds the choicest fl< ring time. 

We have among our membership some of the leading men of the country 
Grant, Sherman, Logan, Trenchard, Garfield, Clarkson. and last but I ■ wn 

city, the son of that invincible leader, Kearney. 

This organization was opened unto us by our father^' loyalty to their country and 
flag in time of war for freedom and equal rights to all men. so that we. their children, and 
our children might enjoy the blessings of a tree home for all time under that spotless banner, 
the Red, White and Blue. 

It is our duty as sons of those brave men to band ourselves tOg< ther for the perp< 
tion of their memories and hand down to our children the same loyally i country 

that our fathers have handed down to us by their hardships and privations on the 1 attli I 
and in the prison pen, laying bare their breasts to the enemy's shot and shell, that our flag 
might wave over us as a nation undivided, unsullied, and not a single star obscured. It is

Memories of Hancock. 

By i m Commander 01 Pmi Sheridan Pi 

I MAY truly say that I am the only man in Xcw.uk who i an i laim thirty yean 

acquaintance with General Hancock, having been with him in the Seminole w.u of 
1855, also in the Kansas trouble, and in the Utah wai i : 1858. 1 the Spi ng • 
the pleasure of being under him on the trip to Utah. At that lime he was Captain II 
upon General Harney's staff, and was also Quartermaster. To write the history of that trip 
would fill a book. General Harney was ordered to march to Utah to take command in place 
of General Sidney Johnston, who was in command at that time ; but I never 

got there. It may have been for the best that he did not, but I am sure if he had we never 
would have had any more trouble with the Mormons. I believed then that General H 
knew from the start he would never reach Utah, for several linns on the route we would en- 
camp for one or two days at a time, waiting for orders from Washington. At one lime we 
encamped at Fort Harney for nearly a week ; then again at a place called the Cotton '•'. 
between Fort Harney and south crossing ol the Piatt ti\er. Here he received 
port at Washington, and from there he was sent to Washington Term 
between the English and American officers at that place. Almost ev< i 
trouble turned out. General Scott had to be sent post-haste to settle lh 
Geneial Harney and the English officers, to prevent war.

please. As the old saying is, some of the best soldiers are the greatest grumblers, and the 
fact is to grumble and complain is a soldier's comfort. Take that away from him and he is 
no good. Most of our old soldiers in the late war learned it then, and they have not got out 
of it to this day, and the most of them are getting too old to give it up now. 

In a case of sickness or accident I always found General Hancock to be a kind-hearted 
and an affectionate man, always ready and willing to relieve distress. I well remember the 
time we were encamped at Fort Leavenworth fitting out the trains for Itah. He sent for 
me, and when I reported to him he said : " I want you to take great pains ami examine 
every mule in the train, and every one that will not stand the trip to I'tah turn it into the 
yard. Pick out the best mules, and nothing but the best, for you must know that we shall 
have to travel fast and long journeys." Some few days after ! was ordered to have all the 
teams made fast to the wagons for inspection. Well, there was one very large bony mule 
that the officers did not think would stand the trip. Captain Hancock came to me and said : 
' ' Halleck, you had better turn that mule into the yard and get a better i .tie.'' I said, " Cap- 
tain, I will guarantee that mule will stand the trip." He said, 'Well, you know that I 
not want to discard any mules on the road." Several times he would ride up to me after wc 
had traveled several hundreds of miles, and say. " Halleck, that mule is the best mule in the 
train." One day, when he was praising the mule. I said: "Captain, I don't know what 
I am going to do when we get to the mountains." ,- Why ? " says be. " Became the tongue 
of the wagon is not long enough for that mule. The hair upon his tail i» all worn ofl n 
"Get a longer tongue," says he. "Captain," I said. " I have measured every wagon tongue 
in the train, and this is the longest one I can find." Well." say- he. "keep the head, legs 
and body ; never mind the tail part."

I\ec[>ii>o ()ik's Eyes Open. 

BY COM RAD1 |AS. COLPI 

elRADES: To get through this world a man must look about bin w ' l, > 

g> one eye open; for there art- many baits i"i fishes, m.«n\ nets for birds, and many 
traps for men. While foxes are so i ommon, we must not i 

difference in this matter among people ol my acquaintance; many see naon with 
than others with two, and many have fini eyes and cannot s< 

boxes. Some are so cunning that thej suspect everybody, and so live all their lives in mis- 
erable fear of their neighbors; others are so simple thai every lenave takes them In. 
man tries to see through a brick wall, and hurts his eyes; while another finds a hole in it. 
and sees as far as he pleases. Some work at the mouth of a furrau e and ai n bed, 

and others burn their hands at the fire whin thej only mean to warm them. Now. il is true 
that no one can give another experience, and we must all pick up wit for vet I 

shall venture to give some of the honic-lv cautions \\hi< h li.ivr served my turn, and perhaps 
they may be of use to others, as they have bei n to me. 

Nobody is more like an honest man than a thorough rogue. When you see a man 
with a great deal of religion displayed in his shop window you may depend upon it h 
a very small stock of it within. Do not choose youi friend by his looks; ban! 
often pinch the feet. Don't be fond of compliments; remember. "Thank you pussy, and 
thank you, pussy," killed the cat. Don't believe in the man'who talks most, for mewing <ats 
are very seldom good mousers. By no means put yourself in another person's powei it you 
put your thumb between two grinders, they are very apt to bite. Drink nothing witl- 
ing it; sign nothing without reading it. and make sure that it mean- n<> more than it says. 
Don't go to law unless you have nothing to lose: lawyer's houses are built on fools' heads. 
In any business, never wade into water where you cannot sec the bottom. Put no depend- 
ence upon a label of a bag, and count money after your own ken. See the sack opened be- 
fore you buy what is in it; for he who trades in the dark asks to be I heated. Keep I lear of 
the man who does not value his own character. Beware of everyone who e who 

would blaspheme his Maker would make no bones of lying or stealing. Beware ol no man 
more than of yourself: we carry our worst enemies within us. When a new opinion 
trine comes up before you, do not bite till you know whether it is li tone; and do 

not be sure that the gingerbread is good because of the gilt on it. Never shout hello! till 
you are quite out of the woods; and don't cry fried fish till they are caught in the net. 

Be shy of people who are over-polite, and don't be too fast with those who are forward 
and rough. When you suspect a design in anything, be on your guard; set the trap as 
as you smell a rat, but mind you don't catch your own lingers in it. Have very little to do 
with a boaster, for his beer is all froth; and. though he brags that all his goods and even his 
copper kettles are gold and silver, you will soon find out that a boaster and a liar are first 
cousins. Commit all your secrets to no man; trust in Cod with all your heart, but let your 
confidence in friends be weighed in balances of prudence, seeing that mm are but men. ami 
all men are frail. Trust not great weights to slender threads: yet be not ever-more -u-picious 
for suspicion is a cowardly virtue at best. Men .ire not angels— remember that; but they are 
not devils, and it is too bad to think them so. T^"~".

UUHV UUE WEfl^ THE BADGE; OR, THE VETERA]* Af*D 

HIS GRAHDSON. 

By Comrade Jack Crawford. 



Hold on ! Hold on ! My goodness, you take my breath, my son, 
A-firin' questions at me, like shots from a Gatlin* gun— 
Why do I wear this eagle an' flag an' brazen star, 
An' why do my old eyes glisten when somebody mentions war? 
An' why do I call men "comrade," an' why do my eyes grow bright. 
When you hear me tell your grandma I'm going to Post to-night ? 
Come here, you inquisitive rascal, and set on your grandpa's knee, 
An' I'll try an' answer the broadsides you've been a-ririn' at me. 



Away back there in the sixties, and Ion? afore you were born. 

The news come a-flashing to us, one bright an' sunny morn, 

That some of our Southern brothers, a-thinkin', no doubt, 'twar right, 

Had trailed their guns on our banner, an' opened a nasty fight. 

The great big guns war a-boomin', an' the shot flying thick an' fast, 

An' troops all over the southland war rapidly bein' massed. 

An' a thrill went through the nation, a fear that our glorious land 

Might be split an' divided an' ruined by mistaken brothers' hand. 



Lord ! but wa'nt there excitement, an' didn't the boys' eyes flash ? 
An' didn't we curse our brothers fur bein' so foolish an' rash? 
An' didn't we raise the neighbors with loud and continued cheers, 
When Abe sent out a dockyment a-callin' for volunteers ? 
An' didn't we flock to the colors when the drums began to beat? 
An' didn't we march with proud step along this village street? 
An' didn't the people cheer us when we got aboard the cars, 
With thejlag a-wavin' o'er us, and went away to the wars?

I'll never forgii youi grandma a sh< itood outside o' the train, 
Her face as white as tbe snowdrift, bei tears a-iallin' hk. 
She stood there qutel and death-like, mid -ill b' ti><- rush an 1 noise, 
Fur the war w.ir .i takin' from her her husband an' three bra vi 
Bill, Charlie and litth rommy iust turned eighteeo, bul as ti 
in' gal .nit .i in! le i i wore tbe blue, 

I: -.i emed almost like imndt i foi i" far her pOQT hr.iit SO, 

Hut yciir grandad . ouln >.•'/ stay, baby, an' tin- boys war determine* 



i hi i venin' afore we started sin- called the boys t<. bei side, 

An' told 'em as how thej w.u always their mother's joy an' tirrdc. 

An' though her soul was in torture, an' hi i poor heart bleed in' an 

An' though she needed her darlings, their country needed 'em d 

She toiti em to do their duty w herever their tot might mam, 

An' tu nevei forgil in battle their mother wai prayin' al home, 

An' if (an' the tears nigh choi ked ber) tiny should tall in front o the fue, 

She'd go ti< her Blessed Saviour an. 1 , .i\ Him to lighten tin blow, 



Hill lays an' awaits the summons math Spottsyivania's BOd, 

An' on the field of Antietam Charley's spirit went back to God ; 

An' Tommy, our baby Tummy, we buried one starlit night 

Along with his fallen comrades, just aiier the Wilderness fight. 

The lightnin' struck our family tree, an' s:ii tped it off every limb, 

A-leavin' only this bare old trunk. a-Standin' alone an' grim. 

My boy, that's why vmir grandma, when you kneel to the ("ml you love, 

Makes you ax Him to watch your uncles, an' make 'em happy above. 



That's why you sometimes see her with tear-drops in her eyes ; 
That s why you sometimes catch hera-trying to hide her sighs ; 

That's why, at our great reunions, she looks so solemn and sad ; 

That's why her heart seems a-breakin' when the boys are so jolly an' glad 

That's why you sometimes find her in the bedroom i \erhead. 

Down on her knees a- pray in', with their pictures laid out on the bed. 

That's why the old-time brightness will light up her lace no more, 

Till she meets her hero warriors in the camp on the other shore. 



An' when the great war was over, back came the veterans true. 

With not one star a-missin' from the azure field of blue: 

An" the boys who on field o' battle had stood the fiery test 

Formed Posts o' the great Grand Army in the Xorth, South, Kast an the West. 

Fraternity. Charity. Loyalty, is the motto 'neath which the- train — 

Their objects to care for the helpless, an' banish sorrow an' pain 

From the homes o' the widows an' orphans of the boys who have gone before, 

To answer their names at roll call in that great Grand Army Corps. 



An' that's why we wear these badges, the eagle an' Bag an' star, 
Worn only by veteran heroes who fought in that bloody war : 
An' that's why my old eyes glisten while talkin' about the fray. 
An' that's why I call men " comrade " when I meet em every day ; 
An' that's why 1 tell your grandma " I'm going to Host to-night." 
For there's where I meet the old boys who stood with me in the fight, 
An', my child, that's why I've taught you to love and revere the men 
Who come here a-wearin' badges to fight these battles again. 



They are the gallant heroes who stood mid thp shot an' shell, 

An' follercd the flyin' colors right into the mouth o' hell — 

They are the men whose valor saved the land from disgrace and shame, 

An' lifted her back in triumph to her perch on the dome of fame : 

An' as long as you live, my darling, till your pale lips in death arc mute, 

When you see that badge on a bosom , take off your hat an' salute ; 

An' if any ol' vet. should halt you an' question why you do. 

Just tell him you've got a right to, fur your grandad's a comrade, too.

AMERICA. 



My country! 'tis of thee, 
Sweet land of liberty, 

Of thee I sing: 
Land where my fathers died! 
Land of the pilgrims' pride! 
From every mountain side 

Let freedom ring' 

My native country, thee, 
Land of the noble, free, 

Thy name I love; 
I love thy rocks and rills, 
My heart with rapture thrills 

Like that above. 



Let music swell the breeze. 
And ring from all the trees 

Sweet freedom's song: 
Let mortal tongues awake; 
Let all that breathe partake; 
Let rock their silence break, 

The sound prolong. 

Our fathers' God ! to thee, 
Author of liberty, 

To thee we sing : 
Long may our land be bright 
With freedom's holy light; 
Protect us by thy might, 

Great God, our King!
